Seahawks poll: Have you seen enough of Charlie Whitehurst?

After Sunday’s 6-3 loss to the Browns, Tarvaris Jackson’s popularity in Seattle may be at an all-time high.

That’s not saying much, of course. But the way Charlie Whitehurst played in place of the injured Jackson may have made coach Pete Carroll’s decision to go with Jackson as the starter this year just a little bit clearer.

Whitehurst was mostly awful, completing just 12 of 30 passes for 97 yards and an interception while leading an offense that was entirely inept for four quarters. It was a far cry from his effective relief outing two weeks ago against the Giants, when he completed 11 of 19 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown.

Carroll, obviously, has maintained all season that he doesn’t have a quarterback controversy. Jackson remains the team’s starter. His return simply depends on the health of his strained pectoral, which Carroll said after the game isn’t quite 100 percent yet. But the coach did indicate that Jackson could be able to play at home this week against the Bengals.

Regardless of who starts this week: Have you seen enough of Charlie Whitehurst to know he’s not a viable option as the team’s starting quarterback? That’s our Monday poll question.

Have you seen enough of Charlie Whitehurst?

Yes. After watching the Browns game, there's no way you can think he's a better option than Tarvaris Jackson at this point.

No. He was effective against the Giants just two weeks ago. Why write him off based on one performance?
